Shaun Hamilton completed a successful and memorable run at Alabama with a second graduation ceremony.

A year after earning a bachelor’s degree in business management, Hamilton received his master’s degree in sports business management Saturday.

“I always tell people I definitely got the best out of Alabama,” the Montgomery native said two weeks ago. “Coach (Nick) Saban, he never lied to me. Everything he told me four years ago, ‘You’re going to get the ability to play for a championship, the ability to compete with the best players. You’re going to graduate from college.’ Everything he said (happened).”

“Got to play in a lot of big-time games,” the G.W. Carver graduate said. “Compete with the best players in the country. Win championships. I got everything out of Alabama that I wanted to, plus more.”

Hamilton became a team captain, served as an emotional inspiration and team leader in Alabama’s national championship run last season and helped present a jersey to President Donald Trump when the Crimson Tide visited the White House last month.

Last week, Washington drafted Hamilton despite the linebacker having two season-ending knee injuries in an 11-month span.

Then on Saturday, Hamilton received his second degree to cap one of more successful and memorable runs of a player at Alabama.
